7-Mercapto(or thio)-benzothiadiazine products

Abstract

7-Mercapto(or alkyl- or aralkylthio)-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-1,1-dioxide compounds are described. Products are prepared by reducing a 7-chlorosulfonyl substituent to the 7-mercapto and then, if desired, alkylating or aralkylating to provide 7-thio substituent. Alternatively, a 4-RS-orthanilamide can be cyclized by known procedures to provide a 3-unsubstituted or 3-substituted analog. Products are xanthine oxidase inhibitors.

Description

This is a division of application Ser. No. 236,244 filed Mar. 20, 1972 now U.S. Pat. No. 3,892,738 issued July 1, 1975.

This invention is concerned with benzothiadiazine compounds having a 7-mercapto or 7-thio substituent as well as methods for their preparation. The novel products of this invention have been found to exhibit marked xanthine oxidase inhibiting properties equal to or greater than exhibited by allopurinol when evaluated in the same in vitro test.

The novel products of this invention have the structural formula: ##SPC1##

And pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof wherein X represents halo (preferably chloro), C₁-3 -alkyl (particularly methyl) and trifluoromethyl; R represents hydrogen, a straight or branched chain lower alkyl having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and phenyl-lower alkyl having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms (preferably benzyl); R¹ represents hydrogen, lower alkyl having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms or substituted lower alkyl wherein the substituent is mono or dihalo (preferably chloro), and phenyl, the group -CO₂ lower alkyl having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, an azine optionally substituted with one or more lower alkyl having 1 to 3 carbon atoms or a diazine optionally substituted with one or more lower alkyl having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or the group -CONR² R³ wherein R² and R³ can be similar or dissimilar and selected from hydrogen, lower alkyl having 1 to 5 carbon atoms or hydroxy substituted lower alkyl having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.

The products of this invention can be prepared by a variety of known procedures. The methods illustrated below are representative of those employed in the preparation of the products specifically described herein: ##SPC2##

When R in structure I is hydrogen, the products can readily be prepared by reduction of the 7-chloro sulfonyl substituent of the benzothiadiazine, A. Reduction advantageously is effected with slight warming of compound A with a mixture of stannous chloride and hydrochloric acid, zinc amalgam and sulfuric acid, zinc dust and sulfuric acid or tin and hydrochloric acid. Alkylation of the 7-mercapto product, Ia, provides product Ib where R is other than hydrogen.

Slight heating of either product Ia or Ib in the presence of base provides the orthanilamide, B, which can be used to prepare compounds of this invention which are either unsubstituted in the 3-position or where certain specific substituents are desired in this position.

The appropriate orthanilamide derivative, B, can be reacted with an acid halide which, for practical purposes can be the acid chloride, followed by treatment with an organic base to provide product Ic wherein R¹ is other than hydrogen or a haloalkyl substituent. In the latter instance reaction with the haloalkanoic acid halide is followed by treatment with a salt of a weak acid and strong base, suitably sodium or potassium acetate or potassium fluoride.

When an organic base is employed following the reaction of the orthanilamide and acid chloride the base of choice is ammonia or a primary, secondary or tertiary amine particularly lower alkyl- or hydroxy substituted lower alkylamines. Employment of a tertiary amine in alcoholic solution provides the 3-carboxylic acid ester derivative whereas a primary or secondary amine gives the corresponding substituted amide. The 3-carbamoyl substituent is prepared employing ammonia following reaction of the orthanilamide with an alkoxalyl halide. Ammonia employed following reaction with a mono-carboxylic acid halide provides product where R¹ is alkyl, phenalkyl, phenyl, an azine or diazine substituent. The nature of the alkyl and halo substituents in the alkoxalyl halide is not critical and can be any lower alkyl or halide and suitable, for practical purposes, ethyl oxalyl chloride can be employed.

The R¹ -acid chloride can be preformed and employed in the reaction or it can be prepared in situ by the addition of phosphorus oxychloride to a mixture of the orthanilamide and the R¹ -carboxylic acid. When the acid chloride is preformed, the reaction advantageously is conducted in the presence of an inert solvent such as dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, benzene, toluene, and the like and is facilitated by heating up to the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture. When the acid chloride is formed in situ, the phosphorus oxychloride serves not only to form the acid chloride but as solvent as well.

The intermediate orthanilamide, B, additionally can be cyclized by known procedures to form product Id, advantageously by heating with formic acid or an alkyl orthoformate.

The novel products of this invention are effective inhibitors of xanthine oxidase, in decreasing the concentration of uric acid in the blood and urine and increasing the excretion of hypoxanthine and xanthine. The products are therefore useful in the treatment and management of gout preferably by oral administration of from 100 to 800 mg. per day in divided doses as prescribed by the physician.

The following examples describe various methods by which the products of this invention are prepared. It is to be understood that these examples are illustrative and not limitative of the methods or products falling within the scope of this invention.

EXAMPLE 1

A solution of stannous chloride dihydrate (180.5 g., 0.80 mole) in concentrated hydrochloric acid (160 ml.) is added to a stirred solution of 6-chloro-7-chlorosulfonyl-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-1,1-dioxide (50.4 g., 0.16 mole) at 75°C and maintained at this temperature for an additional 20-30 minutes. The solution is concentrated in vacuo to one-tenth its original volume and poured into 8 liters of ice water containing concentrated hydrochloric acid (200 ml.). The solid formed is collected and added with stirring to one liter of saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. After one hour, the solution is filtered and the filtrate acidified with hydrochloric acid, the product collected on a filter, washed with water and recrystallized from ethanol providing product melting at 270°-272°C
